Plasticine

A tiny ray tracer made using Go following the Ray Tracing in One Weekend book. One part of my adventures with computer graphics, and how to render them in software.

This one does go beyond by running the ray tracing in parallel on all CPU cores.

Running

$ mkdir out
$ go run ./...

An output image will be created at out/out.png.

The render was done with the resolution of 1440x810 with 256 samples and 96 light bounces (main.maxDepth). Took 22.395 seconds on my Ryzen 7 5800U.

Scene

The scene is currently hardcoded in object/world.go, and only supports spheres as the meshes. Currently implemented shaders include diffuse, metal and dielectric.
